paid directly to Assignee, and Borrower shall have the right to collect, but not

all such rents, issues and profits from the Property as trustee for the benefit
of Assignee, and shall apply such rents, issues and profits so collected to the

shall prove to have been false or incorrect in any material respect upon the

its option, with or without notice or demand of any kind (except as may be
provided herein or in any of the Lender Agreements), and without waiving such
Event of Default, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:
(a) Either with or without entry or taking possession of the
Property, give or require Borrower to give notice to any or all Tenants under
the Leases authorizing and directing such Tenants to pay all rents, issues and
profits and any other sums due under their Leases directly to Assignee, and
collect and receive all rents, issues and profits and other sums due under the
Leases with respect to which such notice is given;
(b) Either with or without entry or taking possession of the
Property, perform any and all obligations of Borrower under any or all of the
Leases or this Assignment and exercise any and all rights of Borrower herein or
therein as fully as Borrower itself could do, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, enforcing, modifying, extending or terminating any
or all of the Leases, collecting, modifying, compromising, waiving or increasing
any or all of the rents payable thereunder, and obtaining new Tenants and
entering into new Leases on the Property on any terms and
6
conditions deemed desirable by Assignee, and, to the extent Assignee shall incur
any costs in connection with the performance of any such obligations of
Borrower, including costs of litigation, then all such costs shall become a part
of the Obligations, shall bear interest from the incurring thereof at the
default interest rate specified in the Notes, and shall be due and payable on
demand;
(c) Either with or without entry or taking possession of the
Property, in Borrower's or Assignee's name, institute any legal or equitable
action which Assignee in its sole discretion deems desirable to collect and
receive any or all of the rents, issues and profits assigned herein or to evict
or remove any Tenants;

portion of the Property which Assignee in its sole discretion deems desirable to
effectuate any or all of the foregoing remedies, with full power to make
alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements thereto.

remedies and rights without regard to the adequacy of security for any or all of
the Obligations, and with or without the commencement of any legal or equitable
action or the appointment of any receiver or trustee.
2.03 Application of Rents. All rents, issues and profits and any other
sums due under the Leases and with respect to the Property which are collected
by Assignee shall be applied by Assignee in such order as Assignee in its sole
discretion may elect against: (i) all actual costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the operation of the
Property, the performance of Borrower's obligations under the Leases or the
collection of the rents thereunder; (ii) all actual costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in the collection of any of all

or discharge, nor does Assignee hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any
obligation, duty or liability of Borrower under any of the Leases or under or by
reason of this Assignment, except those arising from and after Assignee takes
possession of the Property after an Event of Default. Prior to Assignee taking
possession of the Property after an Event of Default, this Assignment shall not
operate to place upon Assignee responsibility for the control, care, management
or repair of the Property, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and
conditions of any of the Leases, nor shall it operate to make Assignee
responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property, for any dangerous
or defective condition of the Property, or for any negligence in the management,
upkeep, repair or control of the Property
7
resulting in loss or injury or death to any person. Assignee shall not be liable
for any loss sustained by Borrower resulting from Assignee's failure to let the
Property after taking possession of the Property after an Event of Default,
unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of
Assignee.
2.05 Indemnification. Borrower shall and does hereby agree to indemnify
and to hold Lenders harmless of and from any and all claims, demands, liability,
loss or damage (including all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred in the defense thereof) asserted against, imposed on or incurred by
Lenders in connection with or as a result of this Assignment or the exercise of
any rights or remedies under this Assignment or under any of the Leases or by
reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings of Lenders to perform or
discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in any of the
Leases; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate
Borrower to indemnify and hold Lenders harmless from and against any and all
claims, demands, liability, loss or damage enacted against, imposed on or
incurred by Lenders by reason of Lender's willful misconduct or gross
negligence. Should Lenders incur any such liability, loss or damage, or in the
defense of any such claims or demands, for which it is to be indemnified by
Borrower as aforesaid, the amount thereof shall be added to the Obligations,
shall bear interest at the default rate specified in the Note from the date
incurred until paid, shall be secured by this Assignment, the Mortgage and the
other Lender Agreements, and shall be payable immediately upon demand.
ARTICLE III - GENERAL PROVISIONS

and be binding upon Borrower and Assignee and their respective heirs, executors,
legal representatives, successors and assigns (but in the case of assigns of
Borrower, only if and to the extent that Assignee has consented in writing to
Borrower's assignment of its rights or obligations hereunder to such assigns).
Whenever a reference is made in this Assignment to "Borrower" or "Assignee",
such reference shall be deemed to include a reference to the heirs, executors,
legal representatives, successors and assigns of Borrower or Assignee.
3.02 Assignee's Rights of Assignment; Rights of Assignees. Assignee may
assign to any subsequent holder of the Note or the Mortgage, or to any person
acquiring title to the Property, all of Assignee's right, title and interest in
any of the Leases and rents, issues and profits from the Property. No such
assignee shall have any liability for any obligation which accrued under any of
the Leases prior to the assignment to such assignee nor shall such assignee have
any obligation to account to Borrower for any rental payments which accrued
prior to such assignment. After Borrower's right, title and interest in the
Property has been foreclosed or otherwise terminated, no assignee of Borrower's
interest in the Leases shall be liable to account to Borrower for any rents,
issues or profits thereafter accruing.

thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any
extent, the remainder of this Assignment and the application of such provisions
to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be

other remedy or remedies. It is intended that this clause shall be broadly
construed so that all remedies herein provided or otherwise available to
Assignee shall continue and be each and all available to Assignee until the
Obligations shall have been paid in full.

issues and profits from the Property. Upon any failure by Borrower so to do,
Assignee may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or refile any and all
such assignments, deeds to secure debt, mortgages, deeds of trust, security
agreements, instruments, certificates, and documents for and in the name of

Lender Agreements or the Leases shall be deemed to include any such renewals,
amendments, extensions, consolidations or modifications thereof.
